Each year the District submits the Consolidated Application for funding Categorical Aid Programs. In 2011 the California Department of Education (CDE) changed the application process to the Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS). CARS now has three collection periods: Winter, Spring Phase 1 and Spring Phase 2, and Fall. Spring Phase 1 (Collection window June 18, 2012 – July 31, 2012) consists of several reports on prior years’ use of categorical funds as well as the 2012-13 Application for Funding. This application for Funding consists of the district’s assurance that all programs of the application are implemented according to state and federal mandates. Due to the late date this application was released by CDE to districts, CDE is accepting, for this year only, applications approved by local school boards after the July 31, 2012, deadline. Programs included on the application are: Economic Impact Aid, Title 1, Part A , Title I, Part D (Delinquent), Title II, Part A (Teacher Quality), and Title III Part A LEP.
